I had a wonderful time at Arusha Tourist Inn, which is perfectly located for accessing local trips like safaris and trekking. The hotel's own safari company was reliable and made my experience enjoyable. However, the facilities were quite basic, with some older furnishings, which detracted a bit from the overall comfort. 🌍✨

I had a really nice time at the Arusha Tourist Inn Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, going out of their way to check on me and my mother throughout our stay, which added a personal touch. The location is fantastic-right in the city center, making it easy to explore Arusha. However, I noticed that the facilities could use some updates, as they felt a bit dated. Overall, my stay was enjoyable despite a few minor shortcomings. 😊
